Pitch

Escrito por el equipo. No es una oferta de inversión ni un consejo.

Problema

Nuevas investigaciones sugieren que las poblaciones controladas de estrellas de mar corona de espinas pueden aumentar la diversidad de corales. Un protocolo de registro de campo podría ayudar a rastrear su impacto e informar la gestión del arrecife.

Lo que están construyendo

A printable one-page field log template (PDF or spreadsheet) with fields for date, location (GPS or reef name), number of starfish observed, type of coral affected, percentage of coral tissue remaining, and notes on visible coral recovery. Trialed by a small group of 5-10 divers at a single reef site over one month, coordinated by a local marine research group.

Por qué importa

Hypothesis: A simple, standardized log increases the consistency and usefulness of field data on starfish feeding and coral recovery compared to unstructured notes or memory-based reporting. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: At least 80% of participating divers submit completed logs for 4+ dives each over one month. Baseline: No structured log in use. Success measured by number of usable logs and diversity of data captured, reviewed by the coordinator.
